"Ah?" Jia Peng was taken aback, "Is this game double-ended?"
A boy asked: "You can also play on your phone? What about the data? Is the data interoperable?"
Chen Mo replied: "The data is interoperable, and you can directly play the computer's save file on the mobile phone."
"Halo, manager, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Jia Peng quickly took out his mobile phone, plugged in the cable next to the computer, and installed "Plants vs. Zombies" on the mobile phone.
The resource pack was not big, and it was installed quickly. Jia Peng opened the game on his mobile phone and logged in with his Thunder game pass. Sure enough, the game directly read his progress.
"It's really double-ended." Jia Peng said.
Chang Xiuya came over to take a look: "It's true, it seems to be a little more refined than on the computer."
Jia Peng said: "No, it's the same, it's just that the screen of the mobile phone is small, so it looks detailed. But this operation mode can be used by both mobile phones and computers, and the interface design is also universal. Let me just say that it is played on the computer. Sometimes I always feel that the button design is a bit too big, it turns out that it is easy to click on the mobile phone.”
Others also took out their mobile phones and installed "Plants vs. Zombies".
Chen Mo hasn't released "Plants vs. Zombies" to the app store yet, so these people are considered the first batch of guinea pigs. When Chen Mo has a solid understanding of the game data, he can release it to the app store for download.
"Okay, it's all over, let's go." Wen Lingwei looked at the game screen on the computer with some reluctance, and led everyone away.
"Manager, let's go." Wen Lingwei waved at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo nodded: "If you have any questions about the game, you can come back to me, and your opinions will be considered and adopted."
Wen Lingwei and others walked out of the experience store.
"Are you coming tomorrow?"
"It's also available on the mobile phone, and it's the same for playing on the mobile phone."
"But I think it's better to play with a computer in the experience store..."
Everyone left while discussing.
Chen Mo ordered dinner, then opened his background management terminal, and began to check the various data of these people.
When designing before, Chen Mo deliberately left some recording nodes in the game to record some data of the players.
For example: Which level did the player spend the longest time on and failed the most times? How long does it take for players to clear each level? What is the player's usage rate of various plants? Which type of zombies have players breached the most times? Which zombie does the most damage to player plants
Players don't care about these data, but it is very important to Chen Mo.
Players are often insensitive, or sometimes feel uncomfortable, but they don't know the source of the discomfort.
But for designers, it is necessary to find out all the factors that cause players frustration in the game, quantify all the data, and express all the feelings with data, so as to adjust the entire game to the best state.
In response to several abnormal data, Chen Mo made some fine-tuning of the game values and levels again, appropriately lowering the difficulty of some levels, and at the same time, after every few simple levels, a small stuck point was generated, allowing players to properly suffered some setbacks.
After making adjustments, Chen Mo can update these data to the game package at any time, and this adjustment will be carried out many times in the future, and finally adjusted to a perfect state in Chen Mo's heart.
…
three days later.
Lin Mao took a taxi to the door of Chen Mo's experience store. As a result, as soon as he was about to enter the door, he saw eight or nine people sitting inside, all engrossed in playing games.
Two or three of them seemed to be together, chatting while fighting.
"Bring a bomb. Bring a bomb for stability. In the later stage, a large wave of zombies will be wiped out when a bomb arrives. It is very suitable for emergency situations."
"It's okay, if you plant the wrong one, you can shovel it. Isn't there a small shovel, but generally you don't shovel it, and it doesn't return sunlight. It's too wasteful."
Lin Mao was a little curious. Chen Mo told him that the game was finished and was going to be put in the experience store for players to experience. It turned out to be true? This is too fast!
Lin Mao originally thought that Chen Mo's first game would have to be developed for half a year or even longer. After all, the designer's first work couldn't be a small game that was too simple, and he had to guarantee some game time.
In the end, Chen Mo actually made it in more than three months
Lin Mao walked into the store, saw Chen Mo sitting at the bar, and walked over to say hello to Chen Mo.
"Yo, here you come." Chen Mo also saw Lin Mao, and greeted Lin Mao.
Lin Mao sat down on the seat next to the bar: "There are quite a lot of players. It seems that the game is going well?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, it's not bad. I adjusted the value a few times based on the player data. I plan to put it on the app market this weekend. How is your game?"
Lin Mao said: "It's already posted on the application market, and you should be able to see it now."
"Really? Then I'll download one to support you." Chen Mo said as he turned on his phone and searched for "Storm Knight Adventure" in the app market.
Lin Mao's price for this game is 20 yuan. This price is average, neither cheap nor expensive. It is a one-time buyout. After buying out, you can enjoy all subsequent data adjustments and expansion packs for free.
Chen Mo paid for the download directly, and gave a five-star praise by the way.
"How's the data?" Chen Mo asked.
Lin Mao replied: "It's not bad! Players' evaluations are generally okay, but the number of downloads has not improved much. After all, the price is a bit high."
Chen Mo nodded. Indeed, there are still relatively few people who spend 20 yuan to buy a small mobile game, but in terms of game quality, this game has rich content and is worth the price.
"After the evaluation comes up, we can do some activities and sell them at half price," Chen Mo said.
Lin Mao nodded: "Well, I think so too. If you sell it at half price, it should increase a lot of sales."
Chen Mo looked at the various data of "Storm Knight Adventure" on the homepage of the app store.
It is currently No. 6 on the new tour list, and has not been on the paid list and best-selling list. There is a relatively inconspicuous recommendation position in the Xinyou boutique recommendation column.
The lists and recommendation lists of the App Store are basically automatically generated by the system and refreshed every 3 hours. At the same time, there are some algorithms that can screen out games that are suspected of brushing data, and pull them into the waiting list for manual review.
There are three main lists in the mobile game app store, namely paid game download list, free game download list, and game best-selling list.
In addition, there are new game lists (new games that have been online for less than a month), classic game lists (games that have been online for more than a year), category game lists (action, adventure, strategy, etc.) and other small lists. one.
In addition, there are several more important recommended positions, which are selected by the system based on various data of the game. Each recommended position is refreshed once a day, and it is possible to obtain recommended positions continuously.
"Storm Knight Adventure" is currently No. 6 on the new game list, and has won another recommended position. Relatively speaking, this start is very good. After the first batch of players have made the game score higher, Lin Mao can start an event to sell it at half price.
At present, "Storm Knight Adventure" has been online for less than 24 hours, with more than 400 downloads and more than 30 five-star praises. According to this momentum, this game is very likely to become a small hit in the new tour period.
